Public Library.

Steadily and by degrees the ladies
interested in the public library have
forged the interests of this institution
forward, apparently with but little
aid from the men, and no public aid.
It is true the library is small, but I'M
der the circumstances it is a wonder
there are any books TO speak OF, OF
even an organization. Pcrsistently the
aides have worked and made every
turn possible to keep 1t afloat. There
seems to be silver lining to that
cloud now. They are meeting with a
little more financial success. The 10 =

A Liars Duck Story.

. In 1860, the year before the war, Il
party of northern Illinois hunters he'd
themselves TO the lakes of Minnesota
for an annual duck hunt of few
weeks, making the journey to ST. Paul.
which was at that time but II little more
than n frontier village, by steamer
from Dubuque, Iowa. Among the par
ty was chap named TruaX, a proven
bal liar, hut jolly, good-natured fell
low withal, whose predominant weak
ness was readily excused, if not entire
~ overlooked, by those who knew him
well. Abe, that being his first name.
seemed to struggle more recklessly and
naturally with the truth when talking
about his proves rs hunter of game
than on any other subject
One afternoon, us the steamer was
blowing its way through Lake Pcpin,
number of the male passengers were
seated forward on the boiler deck, in
little knots, passing the time away in
conversation. Abe was prominent
figure in one of the groups, and had al
ready astonshed himself fairly by the
whoppers he had successfully gotten of,
when the subject of duck-hunting, the
mission which himself and friends were
OIL. on. was adverted to. "Pve shot
few ducks in my time" broke in Abe
during a momentary lull in the talk.

seven miles. with my dog and
gun, and brought home 260 ducks by
actual count, and it wasn't very good
day for ducks, eitheri' you did that
all along, and in one trip" asked the
cross-yed man, as he put down some
figures on an envelope with pencil he
had carelessly taken from his vest
pocket. YES, sir, did" said Truax,
with tinge of ill-humor to his tone.
Those dicks would weigh about two
and half pounds apiece, wouldn't

ton man, as he kept on making char
acters with his pencil. IL should say

ing Abe. "Wcll them" said the per-
sisient querisi 'you killed just $50
pounds of ducks; aud if you can tell me
how one man is able to lug that weight
seven miles, and carry a gun at the
same time. YOU can do something that
no other liar in the northwest can
mat h." Abe reflected n minute, and
with That Is a whopper. isn't it, gen.
tlemen?" he invited the whole party
into the bar TO take something at his
expense.
The remark: "And il wasn't a good
lay for ducks, either" was used ban
leringly on Truax during the remainder
Of the trip, and in time il became COM
